Parasailing in Hurghada

Parasailing is one of the most exciting water sports you can do on the Red Sea. You are harnessed into a parachute attached to a speedboat and lifted up to fly above the sea, with aerial views of Hurghada's coastline, beaches, and turquoise water.

How it works

Hotel pickup gets you to the boat, which departs from Hurghada Marina or one of the main beaches. A speedboat takes you out to the parasailing area, where the crew assists you and controls the flight. You spend about 5–15 minutes in the air, and the whole outing, including transfers, usually takes about 1–2 hours.

Who can go

No experience is needed. Parasailing is family-friendly and suitable for beginners and non-swimmers, because you wear a life jacket. Single, double, and triple flights are possible, depending on weight limits, so kids and adults alike can enjoy the panorama of the Red Sea from above.

When to go

Parasailing is available year-round in Hurghada. Calm, sunny days from spring through fall give the best conditions and sea views, and early mornings and late afternoons are often quieter. Dress for water spray, and bring a waterproof camera for your own photos; the optional photo and video service usually costs extra.
